THE LAST WORD: Rumors Swirl That MSNBC Is Cancelling This Anti-Trump Host’s Show

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell is a special kind of crazy, even for MSNBC. His show is oure anti-Trump from beginning to end but he might not be on the air for much longer. Rumors are swirling that O’Donnell is being cancelled.

I can confirm that MSNBC is ending the top rated “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell, the popular show that follows Rachel Maddow at 10pm. O’Donnell’s contract is up shortly, and the network has not made any overtures about keeping him on.

There is a fear that despite Maddow’s dogged liberalism, MSNBC is taking a turn to the right. O’Donnell would not fit into that model. But they’ve installed Fox News’s Greta van Susteren at 6pm, and more changes are coming. (This follows the disaster with Tamron Hall and the coming of Megyn Kelly from Fox News, too.)

It seems just like MSNBC to abruptly kill their own success. They’re finally beating CNN and Fox, so why not reverse course? Crazy. O’Donnell’s ratings have never been higher…

My NBC sources say that O’Donnell’s tireless criticism of Donald Trump is the cause of the trouble.
